I love it when Conclave said oh so the church is able to break with tradition when it comes to iphones, vapes, rolling suitcases, and steel-fortified window coverings, but not when it comes to feminism, pluralism, and the nuances of sex and gender. How interesting. Anyway, here is a remarkably sad old man.
i have been contemplating the circumstances of dimples death which lead me down a rabbit hole of catholicism in Japanese history, here is the result...
[ID: two illustrations of dimple/ekubo from mob psycho 100. in the first image, there is a half-body sketch of a human, pre-death dimple. he is wearing a dark navy robe and has black, slightly curly hair. next to him is a block of text: "pre-death ekubo. 42 at death. -part of a sect of catholicism[in japan] in the 1600s, hidden from the shogun due to the persecution of said sect -to keep their practices secret, priesthood was hereditary. dimple was to be a priest after his father. he died before he could. - the negative emotions leading up to his crucifixion was so strong that he turned into a spirit in the afterlife" in the second image, there is pre-death ekubo and spirit ekubo floating above him, in a color palette of red, black and gold. human ekubo is facing the viewer, his face covered in shadows. his hands are together and he is holding a rosery. behind human ekubo's head is a gold-leaf circle. END ID]
dis shit EMBARRASSING!!!!!
Mulder “joking” that he wished he had a peg leg as a kid so people could see that there was something wrong with him and wouldn’t expect him to function properly is so rich in character for a throw away line.
ever since dream bbq got announced a few years ago, I've always been drawn to taski maiden - not only because she's silly, but also because her design is deeply fascinating to me, as it's rich in history. I haven't seen any posts discussing it yet, so I thought I'd make one!
the thing about taski maiden is that her design is very rooted in mesoamerican art. her appearance is heavily based on the textiles made by the chimú, who inhabited the coasts of what is now perú and were one of the most prolific empires of pre-columbus america - check these out!
if you look at the second image specifically - which shows chimú warriors - you can see how closely the top left figure matches taski!
in fact, all of her forms share the same colour scheme present in most chimú textiles: red, yellow, white, and black.
the little guys she's carrying are based on it, too! their face is a perfect match to the creatures the warriors are holding.
speaking of the little guys, the cloth taski is carrying them in is actually an aguayo! its a rectangular cloth used by various south american cultures to carry items and small children in.
final fun fact: taski is a quechua word that roughly translates to young woman or virgin.
and that's about it! as a south american person myself, I just think it's amazing to get a design that draws from our historical art and culture. just makes me love this series even more :]
